Attendance

Good attendance is a high priority at St Peter’s and we are justifiably proud of our year-on-year improvement over the last five years. Overall school attendance for 2008/09 was 93.2% which places St Peter’s in the top three of Manchester’s high schools.

At St Peter’s all pupils are regularly advised of their individual attendance percentage figure throughout the school year.

Those who achieve an average of at least 90% at the end of the autumn and spring terms are rewarded with a trip to the cinema and in the summer term with a trip to a theme park.

The high profile approach to attendance is maintained throughout the school year by means of school assemblies, poster competitions and visual displays and messages on our notice boards.

A dedicated team of school staff work closely with both pupils and parents/carers to deal with any non-attendance or related matters. Mr G May, our attendance and behaviour manager is shown here.
